 1. Introduction

Under contract of Technor Benelux B.V. at Spijk in The Netherlands, vibration tests have been
carried out on a TNAML Luminaire. The vibration test was carried out on 21 August 2013. All
dynamic tests have been carried out under ISO 17025 accreditation. Technor Benelux B.V. will
carry out the final inspection after the complete test sequence. Purpose of this test is to
determine if the test item meets the vibration requirements. In accordance with Technor Benelux
B.V. an acceptation criteria was defined. No (pre)conditioning was carried out. The test results
in this report will be related to the tested test item only.

2. Test procedure and equipment

2.1. General
One test item has been used for the vibration tests, see Table 1 for the details of the test item.
During the test the test item was not operational. The test item which arrived on 15 August 2013
was checked before starting the test and no deviations were found.

2.3 Mounting and orientation of the test items

The test item was mounted on the vibration table through its normal points of attachment and in
normal orientation with respect to the vertical. The test were carried out in three mutually
perpendicular directions, see Figure #2 for de vertical (Z) direction, see Figure #3 for the
horizontal longitudinal (Y) direction and see Figure #4 for the horizontal transversal (X) direction.

2.6. Measurement uncertainty and tolerances

All the measurements were carried out with a signal tolerance includes instrumentation errors
lower than 5% according to the standards. The combined standard uncertainly (k=2) and the
expanded uncertainty (k=2) is lower than 10%. For lower vibration frequency (>1 <10Hz), large
size and high mass the signal tolerance is lower than 10%. Temperature and relative humidity
are not operational factors.

 3. Vibration and shock tests

3.1. General
The sine sweep vibration tests were carried out in three mutually perpendicular directions on a
shaker.

3.1.1. Test A: Vibration test setup

The vibration acceleration tolerance at the reference point is ≤1dB and the check point ≤2dB.
The maximum vibration amplitude at the check points in any axis perpendicular to the specified
axis does not exceed 50% of the specified amplitude up to 500 Hz (as described in IEC 60068-
2-6:2008 paragraph 4.1.2.1). See Table 3 for the used vibration parameters.

 3.2. Test A: Vibration test result
A vibration test in the three mutually perpendicular directions has been carried out, see Table 5
for the summary. See Figure #5 for a typical vibration plot. During the vibration test in Y
direction 2 connection bolts came loose see Figure #6, in accordance with Technor Benelux
B.V. the bolts have been tightened and further testing continued. No visual damage or
functional errors have been found on the test item after the complete test sequence.

 4. Conclusion and remarks

One test item has been subjected to vibration tests according to the normative document:
 IEC 60068-2-6:2008 Environmental testing - Part 2-6 Tests – Test Fc: Vibration.

See the following table for the summary of the test results:
Test A: During the vibration test in Y direction 2 connection bolts came
Vibration test loose, in accordance with Technor Benelux B.V. the bolts have
been tightened and further testing continued. No visual damage or
functional errors have been found on the test item after the
complete test sequence.

Technor Benelux B.V. carried out the final inspection on the test item after the completed test
sequence, the TL and LED lighting were still functional.
